Looking for info on attaching terminal tackle with metal crimps.
While on a Charter boat off Lord Howe Island last year, the skipper
only used these to attach hooks & sinkers, putting hook on leader then doubling line back through crimp & closing with a crimping plier. When questioned he said they are the quickest way & who
wants to be fooling around trying to tie complicated knots on a
rolling boat when fish are biting. Good point I thought. they
certainly handled Kingies to 30 KG & Bronze Whalers to more than
double that weight. Why not use for Barra I thought while
scratching my head over the bimini twist diagram. Has anyone used them? I cant imagine any Barra outpulling a 70 kg shark
being keelhauled with no drag on big game gear. Any stories or
thoughts most welcome. Going near Darwin in March, chasing
Barra, that is...........oldbaz.
